Dragon Hunt Beta 1 ...... Available Now!!!

I [Jon Krengel] started Dragon Hunt as a VB project in school and will be making it available to the public for beta testing. Dragon Hunt's stat and fighting algorithyms are loosely based on dice rolling in GURPS(Generalized Universal Role Playing System). The story line was based on the online java game Dragon Court.
